Don’t save the changes #10/2012

While reading an article about remembering that we are spirit beings having a human experience, one sentence really caught my attention. It said, “I have made no changes in myself that have reality.” The word “changes” made me think about creating a WORD document on my computer. When I close the document, it will ask me if I want to “save the changes”.

It seems that, most of the time we do our best to convince ourselves of our smallness, instead of remembering how grand we are. But, what if we remembered to see ourselves as the pure, white light of love? What if each morning we started fresh, like the clean white screen of a new WORD document? During the day we’re sure to slip up and use words that speak of our limitations, of being “only human” but, at the end of the day, let’s remember the truth about ourselves. Let’s remember to say, “No” when asked, “Do you want to save the changes?”
